Envy:, Triple constraint

(From a young girl's point of view)

Beauty they say is skin deep
But on Facebook it doesn't seem so
She gets 200 likes, 50 comments
And my profile pic is collecting digital dust as far as I know

She takes part in a hundred things
And damn not once in the same clothes
How can life be so unfair
I have such a limited collection for wearing outdoors

No pimple or acne I can see
She has a pretty perfect nose
All the boys seem to queue up
Offering her a rose after rose

She must be avoiding oily food
And not eating any mangoes
Her life must be pretty miserable
Or at least that's what I hope :-(

Beauty, Brains and Happiness
Don't they come under the triple constraint
O Lord of social media, please
put on her some restraint
I can live with my inequities
But against her
I have a serious serious complaint
